Example of a Class Action Lawsuit

One example of a class action lawsuit that has occurred in Indonesia is a lawsuit against the fraudulent investment case of PT. First Travel. In this case, there were thousands of victims who suffered losses of up to billions of rupiah. The class action lawsuit against this case has been granted by the court and PT. First Travel was sentenced to pay compensation to the victims.

Conclusion

Thus that class action or a group representation lawsuit is filed by a party who has a direct interest, namely a person or group whose rights are violated or who suffers a loss, and represents a group with a large number of people who are harmed by the same thing. However, a group lawsuit can also be filed by a party who is not directly harmed, such as a lawsuit filed by the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) regarding consumer problems or by Greenpeace on environmental issues.
